Upcoming Events

Well-mannered dogs are welcome to bring their human companions for a gentle walk along the Trout Lake Nature Center's trails. On the last Sunday of each month dogs can gather for these walks. Humans are responsible for the behavior of their dogs and picking up after any doggie deposits. Pack walks give your dog a chance to socialize, sniff the many smells along our trails and get a little exercise. You have the chance to make new friends and meet old friends. There is no cost or registration for this walk but a $5/vehicle does apply to all non-TLNC members.
